Fascination B2B Picture Review January 12 & 17 2015

Thank you for taking the time to post. I really enjoyed your review! Posting pictures make all the difference.

 

I have been to HMC 4 times (3x with HAL and 1x with Carnival). It is amazing. I think I could make that my only port of call on a Bahammas cruise and be happy!

 

Pictures can tell a thousand words without saying much in a review. I agree Bahama cruise is the best when it goes to HMC!

Thank you so much for the time and effort you put into your review. We will be doing our first B2B on the Fascination in April. Hove done 2 previously -- one on the Dream and one on the Sunshine.

 

I particularly liked the photos you took through the port holes framing an object outside the ship and the way the dining room ceiling lights were reflected off of some of the soups and the white dishes in the MDR.

 

Your cabin steward must have been a patient person keeping your towel animal zoo in tact. I can't even move one from our bed to the couch without it falling apart. :D

 

Thanks again for your review.

 

Our cabin steward was awesome! We did lose our first towel animal because he didn't know we wanted to save all ten of them during our cruise. The towel animals he made were solid, thank goodness! Thanks for following along!

The picture above is my Dad with his last melting cake on this cruise. He wouldn't eat any other dessert on the menu except the melting cake. Sometimes he wouldn't order ice cream with it!

 

These are special times for us because we cruise each year to spend time together. I did get my Dad hooked on cruises. His first cruise at 68 years old! We always have a lot of fun and hope to do more soon!

Finally thoughts...

 

Getting off the ship was easy. We held onto our luggage and was off the ship around 9am.

 

This was our first B2B cruise and had an awesome time.

 

Our fantastic cabin steward-

The only downfall was the MDR menu didn't chage from doing a B2B. Wish the Maitre'd would of helped us out more with our change of time in the MDR on our second leg. If it wouldn't work at least contact us.

 

Since this was our first port hole cabin and I wanted to remember this cruise everyday... I bought this picture frame on the ship! (Below)

No worries ... Little Stirrup Cay is beautiful, too! It took me 7 cruises to finally make it to HMC ;)

 

I will NEVER do an Eastern cruise without Half Moon Cay in the itinerary.....

 

Great review thanks for your time in doing this. I will do my first ever review WHEN I get back from my Cruise and vacation.... It will be the Eastern WITH Half Moon Cay of course. I cannot get enough of this place

 

Stay Tuned the review will commence on May 2nd

Thanks for sharing your experiences. As a vegan who has cruised on Carnival (and will be heading out on the Fascination in another month), I enjoyed your review. I find the meal options are pretty limited but I don't really cruise for the food. Again, thank you for the great pictures and thoughts! :)

Really enjoyed your review and your pictures were awesome. We are cruising on the Fascination Feb 2016. Really looking forward to Half Moon Cay. :cool:

 

Thank you for reading my review. Half Moon Cay is awesome and your going to love it. I never seen colored fish swimming around my feet like HMC. Water is so clear!

I am looking forward to the new menus in the MDR. Hopefully it will offer better choices for those that don't care to eat meat. Thanks for reading my review!

I love your cruise Barbie...i have a cruise Barbie but a different one,,,,sigh...I have no organized place for them at current place..lol..I have had fun keeping old and collecting a little..not very active last 10 years but always fun and those memories. I finally got back to finish your excellent review...what a great Friday night. I have a friend now in Jacksonville and I love love love the Fantasy class when the crew is happy and all goes like you had it. So glad you had a lovely affordable cruise in a neat porthole cabin and thanks soooo much for sharing...superb picture frame gift and you and your husband... and your folks are just lovely. Also adored your low key easy relax vacation,,,sometimes just all I want is to have it be easy and this looked so good for that and these islands are not boring repeats yet at all for me...so will watch the deals form there too. LOL...adored your special island pics, porthole pics, and sweet towel animals on the great ledge...how fun and sweet is that....HUGS and thanks to you your family and Cruisin Carnival Barbie...LOL...Sarah

I loved your review! I think you may have helped convince me to try the Fascination. I especially like the picture of you and your dad at the end. So sweet!

 

Thanks for taking the time to read my review! The Fascination is an awesome ship to cruise on. I am happy I was able to get my Dad to go cruising. He now loves the idea and looks forward to cruising every year with me!

Thank you Sarah for kind words and reading my review. We always have an awesome time cruising.

 

Last month I did collect the Carnival Barbie doll that I won off of Ebay. I have it displayed at work in my office and everyone that comes in tells me we are twins lol

 

I am so addicted to cruising and love cruising with Carnival!
